Jonathan said , “ I’m pretty sure I had a few drinks that night too . I didn’t think I’d see you in the elevator – and you were the one who made the first move . I couldn’t even push you away .
“ Don’t act like you didn’t enjoy it . ”
Teresa’s face turned really red . She couldn’t help but give him a strong kick . “ Are you crazy ? ”
Jonathan took out his phone , pulled out a piece of hair he had hidden behind the case , and said , “ Here’s proof . Still , you’re
all flustered and yelling at me . ”
You’re crazy ! Why are you keeping my hair ? Seriously , what’s wrong with you ? ” She kicked him again , but with her flat boots , it didn’t hit as hard as her old heels .
After kicking him , she tried to walk away , but Jonathan held her wrist tightly . No matter what she said this time , he wasn’t letting go .
He said , “ Let’s talk . Either get in the car , or we can talk right here on the street . If you’re fine talking about everything that night out here , I’m good with it . ”
Teresa took a deep breath and decided to get in the car . Jonathan smiled happily as he pulled her inside . Once she was in , she took off his jacket and threw it back at him – she wasn’t cold anyway .
Jonathan’s face turned dark when he saw Teresa was only wearing a bra under her jacket . His voice was low and rough . “ Keep my jacket on .”
He started the car . “ So , where are you staying ? ”
I’m not sure yet . Just here in Everport for a trip ,” Teresa said .
“ So , you’re at a hotel ? ”
“ Yeah . ” Teresa avoided his eyes , just letting him think she was staying at a hotel .
Jonathan turned onto a busy street , looked at her with a faint smile . “ You went to Silvar , then Jarisburg . Looks like we keep running into each other . ”
Teresa froze for a moment , confused . She wondered , ‘ How did he know I had been to Silvar ? ‘
Jonathan said , “ We stayed at the same hotel . You left before I could find you — I checked the guest records . By then , you were already back in Nareigh . ”
Back in Silvar , Michael kept saying he saw Jonathan , even said she smelled like him . Jonathan really was there , staying at the
same hotel .
She didn’t know what to say . After all those close calls , he never noticed the kid with her .
She couldn’t tell him the truth about Michael . She had already decided to say Michael was Sherry’s kid , but now , traveling with Michael in Everport was getting harder and harder to explain .
what brings you to Everport ? ” Teresa asked , changing the subject and looking at Jonathan .
“ Just here for a little sightseeing , ” he replied coolly .
The truth was , he had a business dinner that day . As he was leaving the hotel restaurant , he saw someone whose face looked just like hers .

He saw her walking into a karaoke bar . After saying goodbye to his clients , he quickly crossed the street to the karaoke bar , but when he looked around , she was gone . He thought he was just seeing things .
He never thought he’d actually run into her in the men’s restroom . Jonathan thought , ‘ If I told Benny about this , Benny wouldn’t believe me . ‘
The car stopped in front of a department store that was still open . “ Wait here , ” Jonathan said as he got out , locking the doors so Teresa couldn’t run away .
Teresa was speechless . While Jonathan was gone , she took out her phone and called Michael . She told him she’d be home late tonight , and if he got sleepy , he should just go to bed first .
“ Mommy , I’ll wait for you to come back before I sleep , ” Michael said , yawning a little .
Teresa said . “ You really don’t have to wait for me . Just go to bed . I won’t be back until after midnight . ”
“ No way . I can’t sleep unless you’re home , ” he said stubbornly .
T’ll try to come back as early as I can , ” Teresa said , hanging up .
She tried the car door , but it was locked . She couldn’t open the window , so she just had to wait . When Jonathan came back ,
he was holding a big bunch of roses and a shopping bag with a women’s shirt inside .
He gave both to Teresa . Teresa felt the weight in her arms and asked , “ What are you trying to do ? ”
Jonathan said , “ I’m just trying to impress you .”
“ Come on , we’re exes . There’s really no need for this . ”
“ Then just pretend I didn’t mean anything by it , ” Jonathan said .
Teresa looked at him . “ You are ridiculous . ”
Jonathan didn’t say anything , driving the car onto a road where no one else was around .
“ Change , ” he said , turning off the engine . One hand on the steering wheel , he looked away . “ I won’t watch . ”
Teresa was wearing two jackets and felt pretty uncomfortable . She took both off and changed into the shirt , finally feeling much better .
Jonathan said he wouldn’t watch , but he could see her clearly in the window’s reflection . When she finished changing , his voice was a little rough . “ I just remembered something . ”
He asked , “ Did I not use protection ? ”
Teresa’s hands paused as she buttoned her jacket . “ You did . ”
Jonathan turned to look at her , eyes fixed . “ I don’t remember bringing any condoms .”
